Its the difference between true emotion and and mere sappy sentimentality and bombast. OK, so Kelley sang it first, but neither wrote the song, melody or lyrics, so I don't see how either can be the "original" artist. Of course its an opinion thing, but a more? sophisticated opinion will tend to favor Knopfler's arrangement, I think.

I was reared to believe a good song is a good song no matter who sings it.
So I'd take it as a compliment that someone of Knopflers standing not onlyknew the song but actually recoerded it and I as a Dubliner didn't finf anything wrong with it ok? he's no Luke Kelly Goad rest him but who is and come to that Paddy Kavanagh God rest him hadn't a note

I heard Ronnie Drew sing it twice, and he blew the audience away, - different from Lukes interpretation, but, the only real contender for No.1

She was truly a stunning beauty, and what a " Muse " for Paddy...
